Uskontotutkimus
Uskontotutkimus, also known as the scientific study of religion, is an academic discipline that examines religion from various perspectives.

Instead, it employs methodologies from fields such as sociology, anthropology, history, psychology, and philosophy to understand the beliefs, practices, and social structures associated with religions.
The field seeks to explore questions about the origins of religion, its development across different cultures
Key areas of focus within uskontotutkimus include comparative religion, the sociology of religion, and the psychology
